150 pp. 16mo, publisher's bright blue cloth in dust jacket. First edition. Small bookseller's ticket on rear pastedown; some minor foxing to endsheets; else a bright, fresh, unworn copy. The backstrip of the dust jacket has been darkened by tobacco smoke, but is still easily legible. There are few very shallow chips to the top edge. A nice copy of an uncommon book in dust jacket.

Sally Bowles is a novella by Christopher Isherwood, originally published in 1937 as part of the novel 'Goodbye to Berlin,' which is part of The Berlin Stories collection. The character of Sally Bowles, a young English singer in Berlin's Weimar Republic, became iconic, especially after the novella's adaptation into the musical 'Cabaret.'
